New to this, so bear with me...
I just inherited a S7-200 from a former coworker. It's a 226 CPU with 243-1 Ethernet module and a bunch of 221 I/O modules.
There's no documentation of what has been done with the PLC - I have no idea what IP address was assigned, or what code has been downloaded to it.
When I power up the unit, the red SF (system fault) LED lights up on the Ethernet module. The CPU is in "Stop" mode. I can't connect to it from Micro/Win.
As a side note, when trying to set the PG/PC interface in Micro/Win, if I go into "Diagnostics" I get the error "s7_sr.dll not found". I was told that I shouldn't need this to connect over Ethernet.
Is there a way to reset the device back to factory settings? Failing that, I guess my other option is to locate/make a PPI cable and try to connect to my PC that way.
Thanks a lot!
